Don't be afraid to share your feelings with others.
Keeping your emotions bottled up isn't healthy. And whilst you might want to be alone, the company of friends can help you through the tough times.
Speaking to someone you trust can often ease the psychological pain. This could be a psychiatrist or psychologist or it could just be a wise and trusted friend or family member who can give you some good life advice.
Try soothing hobbies like reading or walking to help take your mind off the pain. Reading will distract you and take your mind off your troubles, if only for a little while. Exercising, even lightly, will release endorphins in your system which will help you feel better and happier. Plus, it will get you out into the sunshine which is a great source of vitamin D.
Blog or write a diary.
It's a good way of letting go and getting back to normality.
Sometimes you just need to express how you feel, whether it be through diaries entries, poems or paintings.
It doesn't matter whether anyone sees them or not, what matters is that you express yourself.
You might not feel like eating, but give your heart a boost with super foods like blueberries and salmon. It will help keep your heart strong physically.
Cry.
Grief is emotionally draining. Just letting it out can be a boost.
Studies have also shown that crying helps you release endorphins which help you feel good, and can lower your stress levels.
